Architects - Hollow Crown

have to disagree with you there, played with them wen they had matt o vocals, and i wasnt very impressed even though i loved them at the time

then saw them with the new guy back in november, and they were MUCH better

but i guess its a personal preference

To be entirely fair, they've grown a LOT as a band since Matt left, he pretty much left just as they got really big which sucks for him... He's a really ncie guy...

Personally I'm not really into the whole "shouty screaming" kinda thing. I'd rather have full on gritty screaming than sort of weird shrieky shouty stuff, but that's just me.

Every show I ever saw them play with the old vocalist was insane, but then again they were all home town shows...

Having since seen them 6 or 7 times with Sam, one time on the Never Say Die tour, I personally found their whole set to but just a little bit more dull tbh. Although I'd definately have to say that it was far better rehearsed and performed... Just not my kinda thing! :(

Really wish I could get into this album, because the production is awesome, as well as the playing. Alas, I am too fussy :P
 
hh fair enough, when my old band played with them, they were all preety static and didnt seem like they cared at all about playing, and just wanted to get their set done

on the never say die tour in london they were great though
 
Heh, fair enough. I guess bands have off days :S

Yeah I saw them in London... Probably just because I'd already seen them like twice in the month before I saw them there hahaha. Already a bit bored of it by then...

i actually prefer the tone of ruin / ESPECIALLY the split.
the split they did with dead swans had the best production..


I bumped into their guitarist a few months ago and his heads up was 5150 without tubescreamer, "never use tube screamer in studio" exact words i beleive.

Saw their singer sam jump on stage with your demise at a show i played on sunday. He is one ANGRY man.
 
Also, I reckon Outhouse can be a bit hit and miss.

check out my mates band Giants http://www.myspace.com/ukgiants

These guys recorded there about a week or two ago and I don't think the production came all that up to scratch in comparison.. just my opinion though.

I do like the drum and bass sounds that outhouse get though, for DAMN sure

re-amping ftw ;)

he had to use a tube screamer seriously. if not fuck it then what cab was it
 
yeah i was gonna say
they probs re-amped and then told them they didnt use a tubescreamer
damn musicians
 
I didn't realised you posted here Kez, you cock slap :)

Those drums on Giants sound replaced. Does he have amps down at the studio or did your mates bring their own gear down?
 
IVE BEEN LYING HERE FOR WHAT SEEMS
LIKE DAAAYYYYS
AND IT WAS MY MISTAKE FROM THE STAAAART

TAKE YOUR TIIIME TO FIND MEEHHHH
I CANT PROMISE WHERE ILL BEEE
IT WAS MY MISTAKE FROM THE STAAAAAAAAAAAAART!
 
BECAUSE HE'S ANGRYYYY ABOUT STUUUUUFFF AND HE WANTS TO HAVE A LITTLE SHOUT :D:D:D:D

caps lock
cruise control for cool tbh
 
I fucking love this guys clean vocals... the best track on the new BMTH is incredible and largely due to his guest vocal.

I'll say it, though... the screams sound almost identical between the bands.

I has anger.
 
Haha easy Dez!

What self respecting wannabe producer / engineer wouldn't post on here :kickass:

I think they had to bring their own amp, which i am not certain but live it's been an orange of some description.

I think the tone grates me cus its saturated (post cab) and thats cool, but theres such little punch on the actual preamp sound, i think its down to those EMGHZ that jacks using >;/


Pretty sure the 'tects guitars are just 5150, it doesnt have that clang i usually associate with TS, but thats my opinoin. I think theres a bunch of studio vids on youtube. Just looked like a standard marshall 4x12 to me in passing, but i cant really remember, haven't watched them in months!

@ DSS3
+111111000003 his clean voice is bomb. i think it's all a big style poach between them vocally, but i think sams got a stronger voice than ollie - the cat- sykes.
